AT – AUTOMATION TECHNOLOGY
Smart Infrared Camera IRSX impresses with unique app and job concept
 In order to attract attention in the field of temperature-measuring smart infrared cameras, not only innovative technology is required. Above all, it also requires special features that often make the use of the camera in thermal process control possible in the first place. Like the IRSX smart infrared camera from AT – Automation Technology.
Thanks to its high-precision calibration model, the AT smart infrared camera already impresses with a very high measurement accuracy of +/- 2°C. However, what makes it particularly interesting for industrial use is its variety of different apps that are not only available, but can also be exchanged at any time, allowing the functionality of the camera to be changed flexibly.

Simply brilliant – object handling for glossy and metallic parts
 With the LumiScan Object Handling product family, HD Vision Systems is now offering industrial companies a convenient option for automatically detecting, gripping and placing workpieces in an oriented manner. With LumiScan BinPick in sizes S, M and L, gripping in every box and from every pile is a success. LumiScan MotionPick, on the other hand, supports the safe gripping of moving parts – for example from a conveyor belt.
The solutions based on light field technology offer users reliable detection of metallic or shiny objects. In addition, the LumiScanX sensor as part of the systems, minimises occlusions of objects in cluttered piles through its integrated camera array. Read more ›

embedded world: Vision Components presents smallest embedded vision system
 Probably the world’s smallest embedded vision system – fully integrated in one board and hardly bigger than an image sensor module: VC picoSmart from Vision Components will premiere at embedded world 2021 DIGITAL (March 1–5).
Only 22 mm x 23.5 mm in size, this board camera yet contains all components necessary for image processing: 1-megapixel CMOS sensor with global shutter, FPGA module, high-end FPU processor, and memory. An interface board can be connected via the integrated FPC connector. Read more › |
The European Machine Vision Association (EMVA), the leading European industry association dedicated to vision technology, and The Khronos® Group, an open consortium creating graphics and compute interoperability standards, jointly announce the formation of an Embedded Camera API Exploratory Group, open to all at no cost, to explore industry interest in the creation of open royalty-free API standards for controlling embedded cameras and sensors.
The decision is made: once again this year, it will not be possible to hold the 34th Control international trade fair for quality assurance as an on-site, live event. After in-depth consultation with the exhibitors and the trade fair advisory board, trade fair promoters P. E. Schall GmbH & Co. had no choice but to cancel the trade fair highlight which was scheduled for the 4th through the 7th of May, 2021.
LMI Technologies (LMI) is pleased to announce the acquisition of FringeAI, an innovative AI and IIoT/5G inspection company based in Boston, Massachusetts. The company delivers a software suite that leverages integrated deep learning, dedicated edge devices, and IIoT/5G connected cloud services, to deliver AI-based solutions across many markets.
UltraFast Innovations (UFI), a manufacturer of high-precision laser optics products, has partnered with Edmund Optics® (EO) to provide global access to industry-leading laser optics for the most demanding applications.
